Chapter 245: Hard Stone (Part II)

Zhang Yanwu touched his chin and looked at the demon thief, and said:

"But if that's the case, Qi Rongxun will be in danger."

兰子义 says:

"It should still be able to withstand it in a short period of time, Zhang joins the army, you see!"

Saying that, Lan Ziyi stretched out his hand and pointed to the back half of Qi Rongxun, and Zhang Yanwu followed Lan Ziyi's pointing. The sergeants in the second half of the formation, because they were not threatened by the thieves, were following one by one along the front line to support the front, although the first half of the formation was in a melee at this time and suffered heavy casualties, but there would be no signs of danger for a while and a half with the support of the people behind.

Seeing this battle situation, Zhang Yanwu first nodded, and then shook his head and said:

"This kind of fighting method of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall is to quench your thirst by drinking a donkey, what if the demon thief sees the right time to rush up and outflank Qi Rongxun?"

As soon as Zhang Yanwu's words fell, there was a rumbling sound of cannon from Zhang Wang's main formation. Lan Ziyi and Zhang Yanwu turned around and looked at each other, only to see that the red-coated cannons of the Shenji Battalion left by Zhang Wang, plus a lot of furlong machines, were divided into two groups and were hit and arranged in the left and right flanks behind the formation, at this time, the two groups of artillery fired at the same time, due to the dense arrangement of the artillery, the shells fired at the same time gave great damage to the demon thieves, especially the red-clothed cannons, the projectiles from this new type of firearm were heavy and large, and the strength was fierce, and the flowering bullets were killed and injured after the explosion on the top of the demon thief's head.

Under the order of Zhang Wang, the two artillery teams of this formation concentrated on bombarding the demon thieves on both sides of Qi Rongxun's line, and only after the first round, the two wings of the circle formation were blasted out of an oval no-man's land, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere.

Qi Rongxun, who was supported by artillery fire behind him, was able to reduce the pressure on both sides of his side, and the sergeants in the formation were able to take advantage of this opportunity to reorganize the formation.

It didn't take long for the two groups of artillery in this formation to fire again before the thieves could organize themselves to re-charge to fill the gap opened by the artillery. This time, the cannonballs spread along the line of the demon thieves, and the demon thieves who were busy reorganizing their personnel were blown to pieces by the shells thrown at the brain, and the remaining demon thieves who were lucky enough to escape were dizzy and didn't know where to flee.

Zhang Yanwu smiled and looked at the panicked enemy opposite and said:

"Maybe we can win this battle today with firearms alone."

Lan Ziyi didn't answer Zhang Yanwu, he squinted his eyes and carefully observed the entire front of the demon thief. Needless to say, the place that was bombarded by the artillery of this formation was already in chaos. Looking along the two sides that were separated by the circle, the whole line of the demon thieves was in turmoil, and those who could hear and see the lethality of the artillery were eager to hug their heads and run away, but they were stopped by the officers beside them; The inaudible and invisible thieves whispered and asked what was going on; And the thieves who were too far away were shouting in the array, and I don't know if they were asking for war or complaining about why they were standing blindly in the field with their guys.

This group of rabble really did not disappoint Lan Ziyi at all, and their performance was as good as Lan Ziyi imagined.

Such a demon thief is at risk of unstable morale, but to say that he will be defeated like this, Lan Ziyi doesn't believe it, after all, there are so many people.

The artillery of this formation opened fire again, and the demon thief front was blown a blood-red gap along the position of the bombardment just now. Lan Ziyi couldn't figure out why the demon thieves hadn't attacked yet, and if they continued like this, they would only increase casualties.

At this time, Zhang Yanwu pointed to Qi Rongxun and said:

"Qi Hou asked for help again."

Lan Ziyi forgot about the past, and sure enough, Qi Rongxun waved the colorful flag again, not only that, but Qi Rongxun also sent people back to the camp, and at a glance, he knew that he was going to ask for support.

Lan Ziyi looked at the first half of the battle with the demon thieves in front of him, even with the support of his comrades in the back, the battle was still fierce, and the casualties among the officers and soldiers were already quite obvious. Originally, the demon thieves were only attacking from the front, and they did not outflank the circle formation, even if Zhang Wang bombarded the demon thieves on both sides with artillery, he could not stop the demon thieves from attacking head-on, and Qi Rongxun's side was still fighting hard.

Zhang Yanwu kept watching the man in Qi Rongxun's camp gallop into the formation, and he said:

"I don't know if grandpa will send us to support Qi Hou this time."

Lan Ziyi looked at the vast number of demon thieves in front of him and shook his head and said:

"No, it won't. Although the demon thieves in front of us are vulnerable, we can penetrate them from the front to the back of the formation with just one charge, but what if we penetrate them? There are more than 100,000 Lei Youde elites waiting for them over there, are you going to rush forward? ”

Zhang Yanwu looked back at Lan Ziyi and said:

"According to Weihou, if the demon thief doesn't move, won't we have no chance today?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Yes, if the demon thief does not move, our army will not have a chance, and if the demon thief directly rushes over our army, it will be difficult to do it. This is the difference in strength, there is no way. ”

Zhang Yanwu turned his gaze to the demon thief in front of him again, and he could only sigh silently when he looked at the demon thief who was almost half of the sky.

Lan Ziyi glanced at the formation, and sure enough, there was no sign of shooting reinforcements except for the shelling. Now Lan Ziyi's face is like ice, and the teenage boy's face is actually pulled out of the ravine. The current form is very unfavorable to the officials and soldiers, and as long as the thieves continue to consume, the officials and soldiers will be consumed sooner or later.

At this moment, Lan Ziyi heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the edge of the battlefield, and he looked back to see that it was the Jihu Battalion that had been driven away when the demon thieves launched an attack just now.

It turned out that just now Tao Zhulu and Tao Zhutu led the sergeants of the Jihu Battalion to retreat to the north and south, while flying kites with the demon thieves who followed behind.

The two cavalry teams, led by Peach Zhulu and Peach Rabbit, avoided the artillery fire on this side of the formation, and they moved to the two wings of the demon thieves again, and set up a formation to shoot arrows to kill the demon thieves in the array.

The demon thieves, who had just been spared from artillery fire, had to face the harassment of cavalry bows and arrows at this time, and the demon thieves did not have much training, could not effectively organize a formation to defend against bows and arrows, and had no effective means to fight back, and suffered a lot of casualties for a while.

The impatient demon thieves finally couldn't help but rush out of the line and wanted to chase the cavalry of the Jihu battalion, but they were unexpectedly flown kites, and more importantly, the cooperation between the various formations of these new demon thieves was quite bad, there was no shelling just now and Qi Rongxun blocked the way, and the fashion and walked crookedly, and now the demon thief front is like this, as soon as someone moves, the whole line swings.

Seeing that their front was about to fall apart, the leaders of the demon thief formation hurriedly shouted at the men who had come out to pursue the cavalry of the Jihu Battalion to hurry back. After seeing the retreat of the chasing demon thief, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion immediately turned their horses and continued to pursue. In the process of going back and forth, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion have been constantly firing arrows.

Lan Ziyi watched the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion pull the demon thief front back and forth, his brows first stretched and then condensed, but this time the frown did not make Lan Ziyi's face frost, on the contrary, it brought out the excitement in Lan Ziyi's heart.

On the side, Zhang Yanwu looked at the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion, who had already seduced the demon thief in a short period of time, and said after pulling back and forth for two times:

"Weihou, the demon thief's array has been dispersed."

Lan Ziyi smiled at the corner of his mouth and said:

"Yes, our chance has come."

When Zhang Yanwu heard this, he immediately ordered the sergeant next to him: "Prepare to get on the horse." Then he put on his own iron helmet.

As long as the demon thief formation composed of these recruits in front of him is pulled by the Jihu Battalion a few more times, it will undoubtedly be broken, they are the meat of Lan Ziyi's mouth, no matter how many people there are, it will not help, now what Lan Ziyi needs to worry about is Lei Youde and his elite who are in the back formation, and when the group of demon thief recruits in front of him disintegrates, it will be when Lan Ziyi charges, and there is only one chance today, but if Lan Ziyi wades through the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, he finds that he is in front of Lei Youde's dignified array, then he can only be killed.

Lan Ziyi loosened his grip on the reins so that the wind could dry his palms, and he extended his gaze to the back of the demon thief formation, wanting to see Lei Youde's movements from there. The vast sea of people naturally made it impossible for Lan Ziyi to see the clues, but Lan Ziyi moved after seeing the demon thieves who had not suffered much impact before, as if there were troops moving.

The demon thief's movement attracted Lan Ziyi's attention, and he immediately pointed out what he saw to Zhang Yanwu, and asked at the same time:

"What does Zhang Senjun think that's going on?"

Zhang Yanwu stretched his neck and looked at it and said:

"The demon thieves in the back are mobilizing, do you have to withdraw these people in front?"

Lan Ziyi looked at the demon thief in front of him who was still pulling each other with Jihu Camp and shook his head and said:

"It doesn't look like that."

张遃武 says:

"But it didn't look like someone from behind was coming up to support. According to what Wei Hou said, Zhang Yanwu would not be stupid enough to continue to add troops to the front. ”

Lan Ziyi watched the movement of the demon thief, biting his lower lip, not knowing what the demon thief was planning, he was about to ask the peach chasing tiger standing at the front what he thought, but he saw a horse galloping from the side of the peach chasing rabbit.

The Iron Floaters of the Imperial Forest Army standing around Lan Ziyi saw Youchi coming, and immediately held their guns on alert. The one who came stopped not far in front of the crowd, and shouted from afar:

"Wei Hou! General Zhutu asked me to come over to report that Lei Youde's elite was coming towards the gap in the south. ”

Lan Ziyi's brows furrowed a little more when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he asked the sergeant in a distant voice:

"Can my third brother see clearly?"

The sergeant replied:

"Wei Hou, it's true, we can see it clearly!"

Lan Ziyi nodded and shouted at the sergeant:

"You immediately go to the main camp and report this to the captain!"

Then Lan Ziyi ordered in a loud voice:

"All on board!"

The soldiers of the Jihu Battalion, who were standing like iron towers, stood straight for a long time wearing dozens of catties of iron armor, and their legs were already numb at this time, and after hearing Lan Ziyi's words, these soldiers immediately turned over and got on their horses.

Lan Ziyi and Zhang Yanwu also stepped on the horse, and Zhang Yanwu smiled when he got on the horse:

"If Wei Hou doesn't let me get on the horse again, my leg will be broken."
